Scotland v Greece betting preview

In the first leg, Scotland pulled off a 1-0 upset on Greek soil. Scott McTominay's first-half penalty was enough to separate the sides, despite Greece dominating in terms of chances created.

The oddsmakers have Scotland as the slight favourites at 6/4, but this price seems questionable given the context of the tie. Greece's strong away record and their dominance in the first leg suggest they have a good chance of turning the tie around.

Scotland, with a one-goal advantage, may adopt a more defensive approach, looking to strike on the counter-attack. Greece, on the other hand, will need to push forward in search of an equalizer, leaving them potentially vulnerable at the back.

Scotland's manager, Steve Clarke, may opt for a five-at-the-back formation to solidify the defence.

Greece will be hoping for more clinical finishing in the second leg. They may look to start Vangelis Pavilidis, Benfica's top scorer, who was surprisingly left out of the first leg. 

Given Greece's need for a goal and their strong away form, backing them to find the net seems like a wise choice. Additionally, the possibility of a tight and cagey affair, as evidenced by their previous meetings, suggests that under 2.5 goals could be a good bet.

The first leg was a relatively disciplined affair with two yellow cards, both of which came beyond the 45th minute.

With league status hanging in the balance and two fiery combative teams on the pitch, it would be a surprise to see so few cards again.

We’ll round off Sunday’s bet builder by delving into the card market and backing four or more.
